1 Stacking and Connecting the Projectors
Master projector
Slave projector
NOTE: Up to three units can be gravity stacked without external
support. In some cases, however, two images will not align on the
screen correctly. This will become more apparent when displaying small
text and detailed graphics.
CAUTION: To prevent the projectors from falling, install them in a place and faste\
n
them in a way with sufficient strength to support the two projectors. Th\
e projector
weighs 25 kg / 55 lbs (plus the weight of the lens).
Assigning Projector IDs
You can operate multiple projectors with the same remote
control.
To do so:
1. Select [Projector Options]  → [Link Mode]  → [Settings] 
→
[Projector ID] and assign an ID number to each projector.
See also page 8-18.
2. Select the same communication speed for both the
projector.
NOTE: Do not turn on [Master] or [Slave] at this time.
3. On the remote control specify the ID number of theprojector to be adjusted. Press and hold the CTL and press
MENU (ADDRESS) button to enter the ID number.
You can operate the projector assigned the same ID
number as the remote control.
NOTE: Specifying "None" for projector ID allows you to operate multiple
projectors concurrently. However, some projectors may not synchronize
to the other projectors.

tions in wide zoom and tele. Select the best zoom position for stackingwhere the geometrical distortion is as small as possible.
Stacking the Projectors
Place the projectors at the proper height for best screen to projector r\
elationship. Make sure that all projectors have the sam
